Summer program at BLAST is a busy and exciting time!!! The children are given a variety of choices during the day, and the ability to move freely to choose activities such as centres, physical games, outdoor play, water play, crafts, board games, and special activities such as cooking, science experiments, building and creating. We go on a variety of off-site activities from walks to their neighborhood par for free play, organized games and picnics, swimming, Whoop-Up Days Parade, Pavan Park, and out of town day trips. Last but not least, we have members of the community come into our programs and share their special talents!
